| Howdy Ya'll - -
|
|
| I am thinking SOUTH . . .with all of this snow . . . and therefore, the ya'll . . .
|
|
| I will be going to Fla in April , and am on my bi-annual diet . . .to just try to stay the SAME old weight . . . LOL So hard, in America, just to stay the same.
|
|
| I do hope you all are stretching your muscles, your minds and hearts during this continued shoveling season. Prevention is the key . . for me . . " A stitch in time . . saves nine " . . If we all stretched, exercised, meditated, , prayed and relaxed more. . . it would certainly help. Times feel more stressful lately

|
| Sometimes, how I pick a topic for us all to discuss at the Talk Circle, I look at a calendar and see what holidays are listed, and pick a theme or aspect of it, like relationships for Valentines, or resolutions for New Yrs, and gratitude for Thanksgiving. Sometimes I use my current life experiences, or those of friends around me. This month I have observed among several friends and myself, some challenges with regards to friendships, and I thought this it might be beneficial for us all to look at this together. As usual, I think it is helpful for us all to think about the topic for a few days, before talking about it together.
|
|
| Some questions or key words to get us thinking about the Challenge of Friendships are as follows:
|
|
|
- What IS a friend, to you?
- How do you pick your friends?
- Who do you pick as friends and do you do it consciously?
- Do you pick people with only certain similarities, people you respect and look up to, or are able to control and have power over?
|
| How do boundaries, positive or negative energy, virtues, vices and values come into play? What about forgiving or holding grudges, communicating with, or eliminating certain friends. How do you deal with disappointment with friends?
|
|
| My feeling is, that most of us have a broken part or two. Some of us have parts of ourselves that are hard to handle or accept, and it is not surprising that we have parts of our friends and significant others, that significantly challenge our joy and peace of mind. How do we handle these things? How might we handle these things differently or better, perhaps?
|
|
| It might be beneficial for us to grow more mindful of the process and patterns in our lives regarding friendships. .
